Description:

Bachelor of Science in Human Nutrition

Interested in Human Nutrition? Our BSc (Hons) in Human Nutrition is a practicals-based course that has been designed to address relevant present day and emerging issues. The course explores the relationship between nutrition and how good health can be promoted by following a healthy diet. Students will appreciate the importance of how the quality and quantity of food, in addition to the individual’s response to food (due to a number of biological factors) influence their growth and development.

As part of the applied nature of this course clinical studies on relevant conditions such as obesity, diabetes, renal diseases, cancer and other conditions will be used to highlight contemporary issues in human nutrition.

In First Year you will cover all the basic sciences to provide a broad foundation. In Second and Third year you will become more specialised and study more detailed courses in Human Nutrition. In the Fourth year of the programme you will specialise in specific areas of Human Nutrition.

Graduates will be able to use the experience and knowledge gained in this course to work in food/nutrition-related industries in relation to human nutrition (such as research, product development, food safety, regulation, consumer information and marketing). The clinical nutrition course content will give students an appropriate applied academic background sufficient to pursue postgraduate studies in dietetics.

Work experience is an important feature of this course and will be in aspects of the food and/or human nutrition industry. In addition to gaining practical knowledge and exposure to commercial and industrial standards, students will be required to carry out a research project as part of their work experience.
